Blyth Academy has announced the return of its popular International Summers program for July 2023. They have partnered with Georgia Hardy Tours, a respected educational travel provider since 1987 to offer two summer credit programs to Greece/Italy and Costa Rica. The Blyth Academy International Summers program last ran in 2020, before the start of the pandemic. As the world returns to travel, Blyth Academy is reintroducing students to new and exciting opportunities abroad.
This week, our students and teachers are taking learning outdoors. November 3 is World Outdoor Classroom Day, celebrated across Globeducate schools as part of the Globeducate Outdoor Learning Community. This day connects students to nature, promotes community and culture, supports mindfulness, and facilitates relationships between students and the environment. At Blyth Academy, we have always embraced learning outdoors because we have seen first-hand how it can significantly improve the student experience.
Families often come to us and ask if we offer tutoring and it’s time to set the record straight. The short answer is no, we’re a high school that offers classes for credit. The long answer is a bit more complicated. Like traditional tutoring companies, we offer students the opportunity to work one-on-one with teachers in a subject that they need extra support or flexibility in. But this is where the similarities end because unlike traditional tutoring services, we offer this support through private courses, which allow students to earn a credit at the end.
"There is nothing like having a student coming to thank you for who you are and what you do. There is a lot of planning and preparation that goes into teaching, so when you’re acknowledged by a student, especially, there’s nothing like it."
Blyth Academy's Head of Guidance, Jessica Lewis, appeared on Toronto's Breakfast Television as a subject matter expert to discuss how students are struggling with mental health after being isolated during COVID, how to address the issue and what can be done to help.
